THE MEDIATOR.
Rev. j. ID. FultOn's Sermon at the
M. f. Church SOuth.

Rev. J. D. Fulton, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, preached yesterday morning at
Trinity M. f. Church, taking for his
text First Timothy, 2:5-"For there is
one God and one Mediator between
God and man, the man Christ Jesus"
the subject OF the discourse being,
"The Holy Spirit Gods Working
Power on Earth, or the Help Of a
Mediator" The need OF mediator is
seen, he said, when we take into our
thoughts and plans and purposes,
what the mediator can be and do. The
world is yet to learn that religion, the
binding man back to God, is neither
an accident nor pretense, but me-
cessity. 1t was because there was
work for Christ to do, in reconciling
bad and .rebellious men to God, and

BASE BALL.
The StocktOns Win by "a Score
of to 3.

Ihc Nt0CktOnS VIII ny a. SCOEc
of Z to 3.
There was a large attendance yes
terday at the game of base ball be-
tween the Stockton and Los Angeles
mines and considerable interest was
manifested in the result. The SYM
pathy of those present was about
evenly divided and as the game ran
up to the seventh inning without
either side gaining the advantage, it
was quite interesting. The Stockton
team evidently went to the ground
with the intention of winning and the
runs made in the seventh, eighth and
ninth innings brought the visitors out
four ahead. The Los Angeles club
played very loosely at times, espe-
ciaily Turner, Young and Coacher.
Turner is usually very cool and reli-
able, but Yesterday he seemed to have
lest his head and made some bad er-
rors. Hapeman pitched good game
and was admirably supported by
Monroe. Lorigan for the Stocktons
pitched the best game he has ever

were made off his delivery. The
Stockton club all hit the ball at times
and it was as much due to the utter
inability of the Los Angeles men to
hit the ball as to the many errors
charged to the infield, that the Stock
ton club won the game. The score OF
the game was as follows:

CORRESPONDENCE
uENT.S.

BARTON, Nd, Feb. ., 1887.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
A popularity Of the Recje,2 and Work
man. the two organs adopted in this
county by organized labor to give tx
preston to their desires. wishes and
sentiments is thatin their lasti issues the
benefits our miners would derive from
the formation Of the soft coal pool, by
getting an advance of at least 10 cents
per ton, were entirely ignored by
these champions Of labor and the duty
left to that keen journalist, ''brother
Oder,' who neither gets pap, credit.
nor consideration commensurate with
the unselfish, conservative advice that
apparently passes by unappreciated.
The article in last weeks JOURNAL
read, and | am sure it will find a
responsive echo Ill every mans breast
that has the welfare of his fellow-man
at heart.
Why is it that our citizens, who are
up to the average in attendance on diff
ferent organizations are fewer in pro
portion in the Knights of Labor than
any Other part Of the county, Cumber
land excepted ? Yet certain miners
will curse, growl, get manned, killed,
and do dead work without remuner-
alton. We say most emphatically if
they haven't interest enough to come
into an organization to remedy some
of the existing evils, then they should
bear THEN loads uncomplainingly like
other asses of burden. Don't have the
audaclty to say you are as good as
those who are devOting their time ard
money for your benefit while you are
giving your time and more money de-
basing your nature by imbibing poison
in some saloon. If you have no other
incentive toward doing good the bond
of nature between you and your chill
dreE should be Of sufficient strength
to restrain ynu from doing evil, there

of from 81 to s. each, and probably
embarrassing the companies to con
siderable extent.
The question being asked one of the
workers-"What are you idle for ?" the
answer was-"To show our respect for
Billy" This instance is only rep
ctition of our old observance which
would be better honored IN the breach
a practice which is Of no benefit
whatever to anyone.
William Cruise was man | esteemed
very much. He was we'll respected by
all who knew him. He was kind
son to a loving mother, and all that,
but the respect shown by his fellow
workers to his memory would not have
been lessened the least had they re
turned to work the following morning
after the accident and continued until
the hour of burial then turned out to
Il man and followed the remains to
their last resting place; and then
select Il committee to go through the
mine and collect not less than 81 from
each man for the support Of those who
were dependent upon his labor for a
livelihood. This, i'll my estimation,
would be sympathy practically eX
pressed and due respect bestowed at
the right time ard in the proper
manner.
A word or two as to the losses ac-
cruing to company may not be amiss ::
| am told the average daily earnings
of each man at the above mine will run
about +! tons. In other words, $3.50
per day. A suspension of three days
work thus brought about would be
equivalent to u loss to each man of
$5.40.
On the other hand, the companies
may have pressing demands for coal,
and vessels lying in port waiting.
A fatal accident occurs at the mine a
suspension takes place for three days
ana the result is the company is com
PEELED to pay very heavy demurrage.
This, added to other losses they sustain
through these unnecessary suspen-
sions is matter which should not be
overlooked. Such are the results of
an unwise system which should be
abolished I'll once. trust some OF our
conservative miners will give vent to
their feelings upon this subject and
let us have the benefit OF their
opinions. y MINER.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1887-02-12

That Aduance.-Some papers having
worked themselves into white heat
over a reported advance of "lO per
c.at.," instead of 10 cents per ton as
expected, we want to show by italics
where that rumor started. a dispatch
from Pittsburg, dated Feb. 3, says:
The special business which called the erec"-
tge board of the Coal Miners National Assem-
bly,, KHights Of Labor to this city is to consider
the ddcisajility Of asking ten per cent. adednce
in the Clearfeld, Meyersdalc, Georges Greek
and Salisbury regions. Nearly 10000 men
are employed in these mines.
Notwithstanding this, however, the
Homecoming Reoje,o of yesterday says:
We notice that the Baltimore and Ca1'6er-
land papers speak of a probable advance Of 10
per cent, or, in other words, cents per ton.
Such reports may have been circulated as a
"ieeler.n If so, we can assure those einterested
that an advance of 4 cents per ton will not be
accepted by the miners They dismiss any
reference of ~ cents" with dsdain, and it
needs no great amount of inquiry to learn
that they positively will not accept such an
advance. 1t is our firm belief that the opera
tors do not intend to offer the miners an ad-
vance of less than 10 cents per ton to offer
less in our opinion would precipitate strike.
We say this plainly because we know the

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The fatal accident which occurred
in New Hope slope last Thursday
morning resulting in the death Of our
fellow craftsman, William r. Cruise,
revives question which should have
the earnest attention of every miner
in this region.
The above mine was thrown idle
nearly three days owing to said acci-
dent, thus entailing a loss to the miners

of every miner in the region.
Thursday of last week was an un-
lucky day for Frostburg.
"Muldoon" writes privately that his
communication was sent to a con-
temporary, but publication was re-
fused. AS his comments" deal with
public questions, and as the JOURNAL
has grown from infancy to old age on
its independence, We cannot see why
our correspondent, whose Christian
name is "Solid," should not be heard,
albeit he argues some things many
people may not relish.

and cattle dealer of Homecoming, was
killed Friday night of last week on

the principal is mainly blamed. With
out taking up the cudgel for him, for
he is able to do that for himself, it
seems that his lot is hard one. Ac-
cording to his letter, elsewhere printed,
he is nOminally principal of the school,
but really of but one prlncipality.
The school is not unit as once, but a
kind of little United States with no
federal head. In all fairness, there
fore, whoever complains should hold
Mr.. Buckley responsible only for the
conduct of the department oyer which
he presides.
